Extractions: Guide to the Issues Environment download for printing National Monuments History of the Act With only a few hours left in his presidency, Roosevelt established Mount Olympus National Monument, now Olympic National Park, in 1909. In doing so, Roosevelt began a tradition of lame-duck monument establishment that has been followed by such presidents as Hoover and Johnson. Since Roosevelt first used the law, only three presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush have not used the law. Jimmy Carter was perhaps the most prolific monument designator, creating 17 national monuments in Alaska covering 56 million acres in one day in 1978 after Congress failed to pass an Alaskan lands bill. Decades of Controversy Recent Debate With only three days left in his presidency, President Clinton designated seven new national monuments in five states. Interestingly, some of these lands are already in the public domain and already enjoy considerable protection from development. During his administration, President Clinton created 17 national monuments comprising more acres in the contiguous United States more than 4 million acres-than any president before him.

The lakes are surrounded by an old growth mixed hardwood bottomland forest that provides some of the best nature studies and birding in the State. John Swan, President of the Birmingham Audubon Society, led members on a birding tour of Perry Lakes Park. The group saw a Bald Eagle, Black-and-white Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, and other interesting birds.
